GAS AND AIR MXEB.

T0 all whom it may concern.'

and State of..(lalifornia, liajve invented a new and useful .Gas and An' Mixer. o'l'j eharnher which the following is a Speeitieation. l

This.4 invention relates to adeviee for mix-- further ohjeet in to produee a pert'eetv mixture and thereby reduce the amount of earhon or other residue deposited on the -piston or in the cylinder. v Increasingl the power ot the motor makes the motor smoother running and corrects one ot the niain eannes ol'v overheating. The inotor ran he run on lees fuel on aeeount of ohtainingr a more perfect proportion of fuel and air.

Referring' to the drawings: Figure l is a vertical longitudinal seetion through the 'levife. Fig. Q-is a planview in detail ol. the Spreader. l* 5l a front-elevation oi an explosive engine Showing; the invention located in the induelion pipe between the earhiu'eter and evliuder..

The agrtgi'egzi.x area of' the pani Sages'll 1S equal toor slight-ly greater than4 the Cross sectional area of the fitting;

In operation. the earl ureted (luid is dra win by Suetion from the .arlnireter into the ehainher (l and as it enters the ehaniher (S it lStriker: the spreader i) and i@ drawn hy sueA tion ul'nvard and `nltward toward the air pansages ll, This action within the Chainher (l reSults in attenuation' the eharge and. it*y pannes over the eorruQatwl edge of the spreader 9 through the passages l1 as a, thin lilin whieh Spine4 up the particles ot' the mixture and diffuses and interming'les the air and gas.

l t1 should he understood that. hy the term eoniizal spreader separating the two cham bers, said spreader having passages between the two chambers, said spreader having radial corrugationjs extending a portion of the dista-nce from the rim toward the apex.V

3. A gas and air mixer comprising a lower conical chamber, an upper conical chamber united therewith, said chambers beingr formed with two dished disls, a conical. spreader with its apex at the bottom separatingI said chambers, said spreader consisting of a dished disk having' a greater angle I than the walls of the lower chamber', thereby producing an annular space inthe lower chamber which is gradually tapered toward i its upper portion.

4. A gas and air mixer comprising a lower conical chamber, an upper conical chamber united therewith, said chambers being` :formed of v two dished disks, a conical spreader with its apex at the bottom separating said chambers, said'spreader con- Sisting of a dished disk having a greater angle than the walls of the lower chamber, thereby producing an annular space in the lower chamber which is gradually tapered toward its upper portion, said spreader having corrugations which extenda portion of the distance from the rim to the apex, and lts rim 'being formed with corrugations formingV passages.

5. A gas and air mixer comprising a lower conical chamber, an upper' conical' chamber united therewith, said chambers being formed of two dished disks a conical spreader withv its apex at the bottom sepa-` rating said chamber, said' spreader consisting of a dished disk vhaving a Vgreater angle than the walls of the lower chamber, there by producingan annular space in the lower chamber which is gradually tapered toward its upper portion, said spreader havingcorrugations which extend part way from its rim to the apex, and its rim being formed with corrugations forming passages, the iirst named corrugations being tapering.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles, California, this 23d day of February 1910.
